Bruno,

Have you tried using web2py's appadmin for your particular app:

https://yourgaeappname.appspot.com/yourweb2pyappname/appadmin

I am working towards backing up my app running on GAE, in the process,
one of the developers I am working with pointed out the following:

"The created_by fields in your database do not reference the auth.user
table; they should have as their type auth.user (they do default to
the current auth.user.id but this is not sufficient)..  Setting up
these references is important for the sake of backing up and restoring
to the App Engine via web2py.  Without these references in place, the
appengine will re-generate the userids, should you download and upload
a full backup using the method recommended by Massimo (see the web2py
book for details)."

With that in mind, I am making sure to read "Exporting and Importing
Data" here:

http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/06#Exporting-and-Importing-Data

As I work this out, I'd be glad to share my experiences here.
